Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Tacos
Spice up your next taco night with food from your dome and an easy-to-follow recipe from peppers and chickpeas combined with a spicy buffalo sauce and a cooling drizzle of ranch in this flavorful take on traditional tacos.
Serves 4
What you need:
⅓ cup hot sauce
3 tbsp sriracha sauce
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted non-dairy butter
1 tsp distilled white vinegar (optional)
2 to 2½ cups cooked chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and cooled
1 cup vegan ranch dressing, divided
1½ cups celery or cucumber, finely chopped
1 tsp organic safflower or other neutral oil
1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt, divided
8 to 10 tortillas or taco shells
2 cups baby spinach
What you do:
1. Into a medium-sized bowl, combine hot sauce, sriracha, olive oil, and vinegar. Add chickpeas to sauce, then set aside. Into another bowl, combine half vegan ranch dressing with celery. Into a third bowl, thin other half of dressing with water, if needed.
2. Into a large skillet over medium-high heat, add safflower oil, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook until bell peppers are golden, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Warm tortillas, if desired.
3. Add baby spinach, roasted bell peppers, celery, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt to taco shells. Top with chickpeas and a generous drizzle of ranch dressing to each taco, and serve.
